Quiet Company has released a record which is a newly recorded version of their debut album called “A Dead Man On My Back: Shine Honesty Revisited“. Also included on the album are two new previously unreleased songs. I mixed the song “Gun Control Means Using Both Hands”. Check it out here: Really glad...
I’ve just returned from Mexico City where the last date of the Daughtry & 3 Doors Down tour concluded (I was working with Daughtry as their drum tech and playback engineer). Here’s a shot taken by Mike Gagnon on-stage at the Mexico City Arena: In other news, I have submitted a guest blog entry to...
Looks like it has been a while since I last updated this page. I have been pretty busy with a tour, some production and remix work as well as moving to a new apartment (and then of course there’s Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years shoved in there too). So I’ve been working as drum tech...
I’ve just finished editing a new website using WordPress and I’m really glad I finally got into learning how to use this platform! I hope you enjoy the new look. I’ve also added a new blog category which I’ll be updating regularly called “Liner Notes”. In this series, I’ll add my own personal descriptions and...
My site has been down for a few days. I’m working on building a new one. Please visit my music page on Facebook in the meantime. I’ll be up and running again shortly. Thanks!
Fire was an exciting record for me to mix as it served as something of a counterbalance to centrozoon‘s studio album boner (a version of which I also mixed and is featured here). A series of videos of the Fire performances was circulated in promotion for the band’s then-upcoming “We Will Tongue You” European tour...
Now that Same Time Next Life has been officially released, I figured I ought to make some updates that I’ve been meaning to get done lately. I’ve changed the layout to this website and added a tag cloud for convenient blog topic links. I’ve also included a feed from my new twitter account, embedded audio...
In promotion for the official release of Same Time Next Life, Markus Reuter and I and I are making available a FREE DOWNLOAD of the song “Exterior of a Heart” which also comes with two remixes of songs from the album “Same Time Next Life”. Previously unheard performances from STNL contributors Alex Dowerk and Eoghan McCloskey are...
I began working with Childish Gambino in March 2012 as the playback/backline tech through to the end of the first leg of the Camp tour. I was tasked with building a computer-based rig suitable for the tour which would include several fly-dates and festival shows. I did so with a couple of modified 2011 MacBook...
“Hundreds of initial hours of free trio improvisation were cut and pasted into new compositions; then a third layer of process was added via two outside remixers, each of whom independently cloned and mixed down the finished sessions. The result is two twinned but different takes on the final album, with different mixes and track...
“It’s one of those rare feats on a record like this where the musical end of things invites intrigue, nothing gets into too much into a frenzy or into a musical clusterf*ck, the tunage remains coherent and relevant to the ears, offering up tinges of both jam band and prog auras sealed through a post-rock...
I went a little nuts with the track counts on this album. Every guitar part had its own direct line which was fed to plugins for processing (usually Native Instruments Guitar Rig or Softube Metal Amp Room) as well as three microphone channels per re-amped tone. Some guitar tracks would receive upwards of four amp...
